CANON CITY—Colorado health officials cited a uranium mill in Fremont County for accidentally releasing more than 500 gallons of uranium-contaminated water into the environment.
The state Health Department of Public Health and Environment says none of the contaminated water left the restricted property of Cotter Corp., south of Canon City. There was no harm to the public or the environment.
State health officials announced the notice of violation Thursday for the incident, which happened in November of last year.
Officials say Cotter has addressed the problem and provided documentation and not further enforcement actions are expected.
